Russia Worried US Will Attack North Korea

With Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visiting Russia, Russia’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement confirming that they have a lot of problems with US foreign policy that they intend to bring up, and while Syria had long been expected to dominate that list, the statement insisted North Korea was Russia primary concern right now.

With US warships heading to the Korean Peninsula, the Trump Administration has been treating North Korea as a bilateral issue between the US and China, insisting that either China will agree to “solve” North Korea for them, or that the US will do so itself.

With North Korea having an active nuclear weapons program, such a war is potentially a hugely transformative one for the world, not just for the Korean Peninsula and its immediate surroundings. Indeed, Russian territory is right across the border at any rate, which means its unsurprising they are also concerned what the fallout of a hasty US military action would be.

I don’t blame Russia at all . North Korea will surely be able to bomb Sole South Korea it is less than 50 miles away . So Trump might have to bomb China because they did not stop N Korea . Than Russia will have to bomb USA because we bombed China in a couple of hours the war will be operating full throttle and by the end of the 1st day the war should be all done .

China has no balls. The class which is prospering from China’s current relationship with the west will never do anything to jeopardize the good times.

Why do you think Russia is investing so much resources in trying to cultivate political movements in Europe & the US who’d be open to working with Russia? It’s not just racism, they know they can’t count on the Chinese.

If madman Chumpster fraudster is criminally insane/evil enough to start a gratuitous war on the Korean peninsula that will kill many people, the Russians will probably conclude that he is insane/evil enough to launch a first strike on Russia.

Yes they’ll commit suicide by attacking a NATO member keep dreaming.How is it that almost every view point on this site is Pro Russian Anti American propaganda or is a bunch of people who that don’t even spell out there sentences the way Americans speak it’s like it’s filled with a bunch of trolls and bots you know the kind that interfere in other nations elections to muddy up the waters and try to change people’s opinions and view points to try and influence an outcome…Hmmm….I’m sure none of that America is evil and fake news about the rebels fighting against Assad gassed themselves is happening here and I’m pretty sure they don’t have an air force to drop bombs on themselves from and to all you people saying USA invaded a sovereign nation how about y’all start calling out Russia for seizing the Crimea from Ukrainine…See how that works in America we call people like that hypocrite ‘s in Russia they call him Putin…

Mr.Knapp you’re still here Mr.Wizard mystical master please don’t get upset that I’m calling this site out for exactly what it is a Anti America Pro Russian safe place.Honestly look at the majority of what the people who are on this site are spewing.They never say anything about Russia or Assad regime dropping bombs on there own people in Syria.Do they think there dropping Lilli pops and gumballs??? Instead of trolling one of the very few who support America on THIS WEBSITE why don’t you troll some of those people who constantly bash America with they’re wild conspiracy theories and anti Semitic hate speech…O I know why…Don’t worry I won’t let everyone else know…USA

Yes criticize my grammar ignore my message please don’t get upset because I exposed this site for what it is and I already responded to a similar comment from Mr.Knapp that strangely has disappeared…Hmmm

Who’s criticizing your grammar? I’m merely pointing out (impliedly) that if simple third grade level grammar is beyond your grasp, then undoubtedly so is the more complicated subject of contemporary geopolitics. That’s all.

It didn’t “strangely” disappear, it got caught in a filter obviously designed to screen out potentially anti-semitic content. When I found it in that filter, I approved it, and will respond to it momentarily.

You don’t know the traveling Jihadists very well , They bombed them selves in Yugoslavia ,and blamed it on the Serbs I thought Trump was going to be different . The USA has been supporting the worst Muslim terrorists in every country , Bosnia , Kosovo , Egypt , Libya and now Syria .I sure did not start out anti American . But once you get the honest facts from the other side you can easily see our last three presidents were attempting to run a global world government more than our own country .

President Bush claimed the right to launch a first strike on any one .. I Suppose it would be because they might reject the New World orders . Putin said Russia might be interested in going under the new world orders “lets talk about what the order should be ” They rejected Putin’s offer to talk about the orders . You see everything has already been decided . so Russia will not join the club and neither will China

Raimondo’s back at it again, trying to spin the whole thing favourably for Trump.
Trump came to the debates with no idea in the least on what he was talking about and made up lies and bullshit that had no relationship to reality And he did it strictly to please America’s ignorant mutts who had even less idea about foreign affairs and didn’t care anyway.

Now the world is teetering on the edge of world war on a Syrian front and a N.Korea front and Raimondo is still barking madly about upholding the psychopath he supports.

No fu–ing wonder the US is responsible for about 40 wars since WW2 alone! Not even an antiwar site like this one can bring enough writers together to form some kind of concerted antiwar effort. And the chief editorialist has lost his marbles somewhere along the way.

The Trump Doctrine as expressed formally in the letter to Congress on April 8th and its acceptance has placed all nations into an aura of distrust and unease which can rapidly escalate into uncontrolled mayhem.

Also, I don’t “go after” you. When you reach bizarre heights of idiocy, I occasionally notice and comment on it. But in general, being an idiot warmonger blowhard with poor English skills is not against the rules here at Antiwar.com, so you’re pretty safe from e.g. being banned.

I sure can understand how Russia might be worried the US might attack North Korea , After the USA just bombed Syria because somebody used Sarin gas . No one knows for sure who used the gas . No one knows who used the gas before in 2013 either . But the USA thinks it might have been Assad Russia say it was likely some of the traveling Jihadists that committed this crime in order to get the USA to fly bombing missions for them . Either way the USA look to be about equally dangerous to world peace as North Korea . The world knows the little fat nit wit is off his rocker But now Putin is beginning to question the quick shooting Trump too . That attack against Syria was to show the world USA will spank the baby . But if you spank the wrong baby ever time you will never control the bus .
